HEART
OF DRAGON features Jackie as a tough detective and Sammo Hung as his 30
year old mentally challenged brother. Jackie would love to join the merchant
marines but needs to take constant care of his brother who has the mind
of a child and can't be left alone. When Sammo innocently gets involved
with jewel thieves, it is up to Jackie and his police friends to save
the day.
HEART
OF DRAGON is a drama and really shows that Jackie is more than an action
hero. He can act very well. The same can be said for Sammo Hung. The two
really shine in this movie. If you have only seen Jackie's more recent
movies, this one will come as a surprise. Though few, the fights are brutal
and deliberate. No slapstick here. The moral of this story is that you
just don't get between Jackie Chan and his brother. This is a great movie
if you want to see another side of Jackie Chan. Sammo doesn't fight in
this movie but his performance is wonderful. This movie is as close to
a tear jerker as you will ever get from Jackie and Sammo. There are some
truly touching scenes. Some really hate this movie but I think it's a
great display of what Jackie and Sammo can do.
